The Nigerian Labour Congress' demand for a ₦494,000 minimum wage has sparked intense discussions. But, have we considered the far-reaching implications?
Joe Ajaero's proposal applies to ALL employees, including domestic staff! If implemented, your house help, maid, driver, gateman, or cook could sue you for damages if they're not paid the proposed minimum wage!
Let's separate emotions from logic. Many states struggle to pay the current ₦30,000, and banks are laying off staff. Is ₦494,000 a realistic target?
Wisdom dictates we consider the consequences of our demands. Let's engage in constructive dialogue, rather than blaming the government or President Tinubu.
Share your thoughts! Should the minimum wage be increased, and if so, what's a realistic figure?
